Muon Space is an end-to-end Space Systems Provider, founded in 2021, that designs, builds, and operates LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite constellations to deliver mission-critical data. Many organizations face challenges in obtaining timely and accurate Earth observation data to address critical issues like climate change, natural resource management, and national security. Existing solutions can be slow to deploy, inflexible, or unable to provide the specific data modalities required. Muon Space addresses these challenges by offering a revolutionary, integrated technology stack that enables customers to optimize every dimension of their missions for faster time-to-orbit and superior constellation remote sensing performance. Our customers need to understand and react to a rapidly changing world, and our systems provide the Earth intelligence necessary to make informed decisions, manage resources effectively, and enhance safety and global security.

Our approach is centered on providing a turnkey solution for custom Earth observation satellites. The Muon Halo platform powers a customer's own LEO satellite constellation, incorporating advanced simulation (MuSim), data-centric middleware (MuOS), software-defined instrument cores (MuCore), and configurable spacecraft (MuSat). This vertically integrated system, combined with our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Silicon Valley, allows for rapid, flexible payload integration and satellite manufacturing at scale. We partner with government agencies, private companies, and global organizations to create satellite constellations that tackle critical challenges, from providing cutting-edge weather-monitoring satellites to developing systems for geospatial intelligence in agriculture. By leveraging common, stocked hardware components and a standardized software operating system, Muon Space delivers reliable, cutting-edge remote sensing systems on unprecedented timelines and at a low cost, empowering our customers to respond to global challenges and support societal advancement.
